Modest white candytufts, Haunting sword

Low-growing pinks, and sweet-scented stock
gillies;
Queen of them all is the rose-ahl the roseI
Fairest and rarest it bourgeons and blows.
Bearing before US their bright spikes of fire.
Salvias ask us to gaze and admire;
Here is our pathway the panSies are spread

Purple and gold-a gay road to a wedding:
Over them all towers the roSe-ah! the rose!
Fairest and rareSt it bourgeOns and blows.
Rose listens timidly here as | speak,
Eyel1ds low-drOOping, a flush on her cheek:
Flashes moment the shiest of glances-
Glance that tells much while my soul it en-
frances;
Trembling, rosebud she plucks-ah! the rose!
Fa1rest and rarest it bourgeons and blows,
Two Of the sisters to meet us have come,
Both of them greet US, but Rose has grown

Rose deeply bluSheS-ah she is the rose
In my hearts garden that bourgeOns and

Crazed by lad Temper.

One of the prettiest girls of Zacate-
tas, belonging to one of the best fami-
lies in the state, has just been admit
ted to the insane asylum in that city, Il
hopeless maniac The story of the
trouble which wrecked her reason is
one of the saddeSt that has ever been
written. Born the daughter of wealthy
parents, an only child, she was indulg-
eel in everything, and in consequence
her naturally sweet disposition was
thoroughly spoiled, and whenever an
attempt was made to cross her wishes
she had the most frightful outbursts of
temper, which always ended in all
around her yielding and allowing her
to carry her point. On the 4th of
March of the present year she was
married to a wealthy hacendado whose
extensive place is located near Zaca-
tecas. The wedding was grand af-
fair, and the young couple started life
together with the brightest possible
prospects. Soon after marriage, how
ever, there arose slight disputes be-
tween husband and wife, which ended,
as had always been the case all through
the girls ife in her favor, the hus-
band, NATURALLY a high-spirited man.
yielding invariably before her awful
fits of violence. This, finally, howev-
or, became unbearable to the young
married. man and he determined to
break his wife's frightful temper and
assert his manhood, trusting that
they would live more happily together
in the end SO upon the next occasion
when there arose difference of opin-
ion. on some tritiing matter he remain
ed firm and utterly refused to yield
hislpOint. His wife stormed and flew
into perfect rage of passion, but he
remained unmoved, and finally, when
the exhibition Of her temper was as
Stunning a phase where the young wo-
man commenced breaking the break
fast dlshes-they were at their morn
ing meal when the trouble arose-in
the impotency of her wrath, he clutch
ed her tightly by the arm, and in a
rough tone insisted that she should
quiet down. She gave him one awful
look, then with wild shrek, she tore
herself from his grip, and moving
away a few zteps fell to the ground
foaming at the mouth. Medical aid
was at once summoned, but for hours
she lay unconscious, occasionally
struggling violently, and then relaps-
ing into quietness again. After ID
while she opened her eyes, took a long
look around upon the people gathered
about her bed, and with blood-curd-.
ling shrek sprang from the bed, and
before anyone could prevent her was
out of the house and racing madly
over the fields. All present gave
chase. and after a long, exhausting
run, the mad woman was Oyertaken by
her husband and held fast until assist
ance arrived The best medical aid
procurable was obtained for her, but
her reason remained in darkness, and
the physicians predict there is posi-
lively no hope of her recoyery.-Two

The Bridegroom Market in Bengal

A complaint of very singular char
| acter comes from Bengal Our educa-
tiOnal system is said to be creating a
marked effect upon the native marriage
market throughout the presidency, and
the price of bridegrooms is said to be
distinguishing, it appears moreover, in
proportion to the young gentleman's
success at the university. At least
such is the assertion of a Hindoo pun
dit who has recently written on the
subject to a Calcutta journal. A boy
who is fortunate enough to pass his en-
trance examination at college is now
rated at 800 rupees, while bachelors of
arts and those entitled to place the
mystical letters, IN. A." after their
names are fetching fancy prices as
prospective sons-in-law. The result,
Of which the learned Bengalee COM
plains, is certainly one of the oldest
that has ever been attributed to a
system of education in any land, and
those who are responsible for the uni
versity competitions introduced into
our great eastern dependency will as
suredly be acquitted Of ever having
entertained the idea of cornering the
marriage market, or making their eX-
aminatiOns q means of running up
the price of bridegrooms. 1t must not
be forgotten that the Hindoo has pc
culiar notions as to the marriage of
daughters, and cannot possibly be as
phiiosophic in the matter as the less
preiudiced residents of the west. On
the contrary, indeed. To a Hindoo
father who firmly believes in Menu and
his prescriptions rs to marriage, q
scarcity of bridegrooms, or a price
beyond his means, may prove Il very
serious matter indeed The Bramin
code of laws regards matrimony as one
of the means OF rebirth, and for a girl
to remain unmarried after attaining
the age Of puberty is not only sin,
but an objectionable sin. 1t entails
disgrace upon the ancestors of fam
lily and upon the descendants So far
is this idea carried, that marriage
contracted after the bride is of mature
age-that is to say, II years old-is
regarded by many native legalists as
invalid. Hence the anxiety of every
Hindoo parent to betroth his daugh-
ter before, if possible, she is of age.
There are many districts where the
non-marriage of girl within rea-
sonable period of her attaining reli-
gious adolescence is regarded as fixing
SO disgraceful a stigma upon the pa
rents that they will commit suicide
Among some OF the subordinate castles
girl is soIemnly married to an Ash
watta tree-the so-called fcass religiosG
when all other devices to secure her a
husband have failed. 1t is easy enough,
therefore, to understand that rise in
the price of bridegrooms is regarded
by orthodox Hindoos as anything but
a trifling matter.

Queer German Customs.

There are phenomena to be seen in
Berlin; for instance, q restaurant where
walters refuse fees and horse-cars have
room flor one more according to
American ideas, but which will not
carry one passenger, great or small,
more than the number prescribed by
law. 1t was very gratifying to meet
such regulation; it must prevent
many abuses; at least it compelled me
to walk u weary distance one rainy
evening and taught me the difference
between the application of rule IN
